exhaust confusion

[tom.]

Wondered if anyone could shed some light on this :) I was planning on getting a Raceland mani next, but on closer inspection of my existing manifold, instead of the centre pipe stopping where the 4-2-1 starts, it seems to go all the way up to almost the top of the manifold by the cylinder head :confused:

Like so: http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g293/xlindsellxx/Image002-1.jpg

Does this mean that if i was to put a raceland mani on i would also need a new centre section? Thanks

ok, my car has no cat on the centre section..

does this mean my car has no cat at all? as i understand early models were fitted without a cat. can anyone help?

raceland mani and supersprint exhaust system ftw?

That's the downpipe, rather than the centre section. The flexible joint below the bulkhead is where you detach it.

thats what i'm thinking, but if the car is fitted without a cat as standard, would that mean there is no emmisions test on the MOT?
